This representation is based on the value domain for this data element, more information is available at " You dont have permission to view this item ".| Value | Meaning | Start Date | End Date | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Permissible Values | Standard Construction: | Standard Construction: Describes construction that use on site processes to construct the main structural elements e.g. block laying and pouring of reinforced concrete. Typical examples would be masonry cavity walls, solid masonry walls and reinforced concrete framed buildings. Main Construction Materials:
For cavity walls the selection should be based on the material of the inner leaf. If a novel form of Standard Construction is being used please select other and enter in the details. |

| Modern Methods of Construction Category 1 -3D Volumetric Primary Structure | Modern Method of Construction Category 1 These are three-dimensional units consisting of floor, wall and roof panels, which are the primary structure of all or part of the building. The units are made in factories and transported to site. The category comes:
Several volumetric units can be combined to make up a building, or a single volumetric unit can be a small dwelling. Main Construction Material for MMC Category 1:

| Modern Methods of Construction Category 2- 2D Panelised | Modern Method of Construction Category 2 These are two-dimensional flat panel units such as panelised walls, which are part of the primary structure of the building. They are made in factories and assembled on site, to produce a building. Panelised components can include:

| Modern Methods of Construction Category 3 - non systemised primary structure | These are two-dimensional components such as beams and posts, which form part of the primary structure of a building. They are made in factories and assembled on site to produce a building Main Construction Material for MMC Category 3

| Modern Methods of Construction Category 4- Additive Manufacturing | Modern Method of Construction Category 4 This MMC Category uses remote, site based or final workforce based 3D printing of parts of buildings through various material based on digital design and manufacturing techniques Main Construction Material for MMC Category 4
If a novel form of MMC Category 4 is being used please select other and enter in the details. |

| Modern Methods of Construction Category 7 - Innovative site process and approaches | Modern Methods of Construction Category 7 This category of MMC uses innovative construction techniques that improve on site processes. Main Construction Material for MMC Category 7 The most common form of MMC Cat 7 is Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF).

Comments
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Guide for Use:
Category 1 Pre-manufacturing – 3D primary structural systems (Volumetric)
- This refers to three dimensional units manufactured in factories and delivered to the site where they are installed. The units include structural framing with roofing and come without or without cladding and with or without internal fit-outs (such as bathrooms and kitchens)
Category 2 Pre-manufacturing – 2D primary structural systems (Panelised)
- This refers to flat panel units that are made in factories and assembled onsite to produce a house or apartment. The units include walls, roof and floors, insulation and linings, cladding, windows, roofing and doors.
Category 3 Pre-manufacturing - non systemised primary structure
- This refers to the use of pre-manufactured structural members made of framed or mass engineered timber, cold rolled or hot rooled steel or pre-cast concrete. It includes load bearing beam, columns, walls, core structures and slabs that are not substantially in-situ workplace constructed and that are not part of a systemised design.
Category 4 Additive manufacturing – (structural and non-structural)
- This includes substantive structural forms and components and non structural components
Category 5 Pre-manufacturing – non-structural assemblies and sub-assemblies, for example pods
- This refers to partition wall systems, weatherproofing or insulation roofing finish assemblies and non-load-bearing volumetric assemblies known as 'pods', often used for kitchens and bathrooms.
Category 6 Traditional building product-led site labour reduction and productivity improvements
- This refers to traditional single building products made in large format, pre-cut configurations or with easy jointing features that reduce the extent of site labour to install.
Category 7 Site process-led labour reduction/productivity assurance improvements (innovative processes and approaches)
- This refers to drones, robotics and insulated concrete formwork. It includes weatherproofing, standardised works such as insulated concrete formwork, virtual models of building (Building Information Modelling (BMI)), augmented and virtual reality technology etc.
